"FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] is largely the product of executive orders. Its genesis can be traced back to a series of IOs signed by President Kennedy that granted the government totalitarian power in the event of a national emergency. . ." "[W]henever a state of emergency is declared by the president, Congress cannot review, let alone overturn, the declaration for a period of six months." "[N]early all of the civil defense measures undertaken by the U.S. government in the last 25 years have been directed at protecting government leaders and assuring government functioning in the event of a nuclear war. The American people, it would seem, have been left to fend for themselves." "[A] congressional investigation [in 1992] discovered that FEMA had spent 12 times more for black operations than for disaster relief."

"'The showdown with the United States is not far away,' wrote Saddam Hussein in a recent memorandum to senior staff in the Party, state, and army. 'Iraq will confront -- with. . .a devastating response that will be remembered throughout history -- the latest U.S. attempt to inflict harm on it.'" "Similar pronouncements have been made by the North Korean government, which said a few months ago that the United States would be turned to ash, and its people would be 'wiped from the face of this planet for good.'" ". . .East Block strategists know that only the use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons of mass destruction, aimed at the economic center of the United States, could permanently neutralize the comeback potential of the Americans."

"Across the United States, thousands of families have been ripped apart by child 'protection' bureaucracies. Parents in such circumstances find that if they have been 'hot-lined' -- that is, reported anonymously by a dutiful citizen, teacher, or acquaintance -- they enjoy none of the rights and immunities associated with due process. Acting in the 'best interests of the child,' social workers can terminate parental rights on a whim, and order police agencies to enforce those whimsical decisions at gunpoint. Even more ominously, child 'protection' agencies across the nation, following a totalitarian blueprint and fueled with taxpayer dollars, are seeking to create a compulsory 'home visitation' system, through which agents of the state will be able to subject parents to regular scrutiny -- and determine whether or not children, as 'state property,' will be permitted to remain with questionable parents."

After each new shooting incident we hear liberal cries of outrage directed at those of us who still believe in the U.S. Constitution and its Second Amendment. "Gun control is needed now!" "Gun control for the children!" "Gun control for the protection of us all!" Well, at last we have a way to measure the success of gun control. Last year, half way around the world in Australia, gun-owners were forced to surrender their weapons, all 640,000 of them. So the entire country must now be living in peace and harmony, right?

Well, let's look at some statistics. Countrywide, over the last year, homicides are up 3.2%. Assaults are up 8.6%. Armed robberies are up 44%! In the state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300%, in spite of the fact that this category of crime had been showing decreases over the previous 25 years. Break-ins and assaults on the elderly in the last 12 months have dramatically increased.

Australian politicians are reportedly unable to explain why crime is increasing. (Hint: the criminals still have guns!) "Ridding society of guns" was supposed to stop all the crime. Last year the prime minister said "self-defense is not a reason for owning a firearm." So what do the politicians say now that 12 months of statistics show disastrous results from their gun confiscation program? They say: wait longer.




Excerpt from "Manipulating Public Opinion," by Robert W. Lee, The New American, July 5, 1999, page 25.

"Explanations of why the U.S. was established as a republic rather than a democracy, and why it is imperative to keep it that way, were unnecessary prior to about 1930, when the carefully orchestrated drive to mislead the American people about the matter was barely underway. Today, however, clarification is required lest critics of 'democracy' be viewed as unpatriotic, disloyal, or worse.

"A republic entails rule by written law, banked and curbed by checks and balances, with basic individual rights protected from the pugnacity of majorities. Democracy, in contrast, means majority rule. The paradigm of Democracy is the lynch mob or rape gang. Were our government intended to be a democracy, a razor-thin majority could empower the central government to criminalize the private ownership of firearms, or to abolish protections of freedom of speech or assembly, or otherwise decimate our constitutionally protected individual rights -- or, for that matter, to liquidate an entire class or race of people. The restraints on government power written into our Constitution are intended to prevent the imposition of such acts of democratic tyranny."




Excerpt from "Truth and Tolerance," by Josh McDowell, Focus on the Family, August 1999, page 6. Address: 8605 Explorer Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80920-1051. Phone: 719-531-5181. Posted here 8-4-99.

My son Sean was a high school senior when I asked, "Son, in 12 years of public school, were you ever taught that anything is absolutely true?"

"Sure," he said.

Surprised, I asked him what absolute truth he had learned.

He shrugged. "Tolerance."

I have since discovered that Sean's experience is common. Tolerance has become the cardinal virtue, the sole absolute of our society, and our children hear it preached every day in school and from government and the media. Yet few of us understand what society really means by tolerance, nor do we realize that it is the central doctrine of an entire cultural movement. As a result, few of us recognize the threat it poses to us, our children, our churches and our very faith.

The traditional definition of tolerance means simply to recognize and respect others' beliefs, practices, and so forth without necessarily agreeing or sympathizing with them. This attitude, that everyone has a right to his own opinion, is what tolerance means to most of us.

But today's definition is vastly different. This new tolerance considers every individual's beliefs, values, lifestyle and truth claims as equally valid. So not only does everyone have an equal right to his beliefs, but all beliefs are equal. The new tolerance goes beyond respecting a person's rights; it demands praise and endorsement of that person's beliefs, values and lifestyle.

I believe that fundamental change in meaning -- and thinking -- represents one of the greatest shifts in history, and most people are missing it.

According to Scott McDonald of Scan This News, there's a microchip in your future. Chips have already been used extensively in animals and in other applications. Here are excerpts of what McDonald has to say:

"In case you are not familiar with the technology, implantable microchips are about the size of a grain of rice. Each one has a unique number programmed into it. . . Each child's SSN could simply be programmed into their individual chip. . . ."

"The implant only takes a minute and can be done using local anesthesia. All children in a given school could be chipped in a single day."

"Implanted microchips will stay permanently attached to their host for as long as their flesh clings to their bones -- they last forever."

"A lifetime of information can be easily databased using a microchip system. All movement, transactions, and interactions can be recorded and monitored once everyone has their own unique identifier. Every detail of a person's life will finally be accessible to authorities through the widespread use of implanted chips. . . ."

"All of the tools and mechanisms to enforce compliance are already available and in place. And the public has demonstrated a readiness and willingness to accept such a system."

"O.K., there will be some opposition at first. There will be those who'll put up a small amount of resistance. . . . Little will they know, the very act of objecting, in itself, will suffice to 'identify' them as trouble-makers. They can then be arrested and force-chipped as part of the booking process!"

"This is how it worked when Congress enacted laws to coerce parents into numbering their children at birth. A few grumbled for a short while. But once the threat of no longer being able to claim their children on tax returns set in, they got right in line down at the Social Security Administration and had their children numbered, one by one."

[From a TV program discussed in the article:] "We have already put this chip into 5,000 babies in the state of Florida."

A lady in Volusia County, Florida owns about two-thirds of an acre of land on which she wishes to build. The US Fish and Wildlife Service says a family of Florida Scrub-jays lives or lived on the property and if the lady builds on her land, the Service would consider it a "take" of an endangered species, but out of their great reservoir of kindness they say she can indeed build. However, there are a few conditions:

  • She must produce a habitat conservation plan describing how she will protect the scrub-jays.
  • She must produce a habitat conservation plan for indigo snakes, although not a one has been spotted on her land.
  • She must not do any clearing within 150 feet of the nesting site during nesting season (March 1 - July 1).
  • She must contribute $8,631 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Found for purchasing scrub-jay habitat elsewhere in Volusia County.
  • She must of course comply with all the other environmental regulations that any governmental agency may wish to impose.


  • Now then, let's consider anew the definition of the phrase "private property".

    "About three years ago, I and my family were blindfolded and tied up at gunpoint and our house robbed by illegal aliens. We were very fortunate. Neither of the two ladies in their 80's were injured, nor was my wife harmed. My insurance replaced much of what was stolen, with the total reimbursement in the neighborhood of $16,000. After the robbery we put up window bars, additional fencing, purchased defensive weapons, took personal courses in the appropriate and safe handling of firearms, installed alarm systems, obtained a cell phone, and bought a large guard dog. May I state the obvious: This implicit tax on our living situation was not inexpensive.

    "Interestingly enough, the criminals remain free, while we, the victims, now live behind bars, under lockdown, and are largely unable to enjoy the scenic beauties of this area unless we venture out armed and alert. We have become the prisoners, while the perpetrators enjoy the fruits of our labors and go free.

    I retired from the military after serving more than 28 years. I served because I was seeking to help protect the people of America from those who wished to do us ill. My years of being able to do that have passed -- but now the country that I sought to protect is failing its own citizens, myself included, who must now continue that effort even into our retirement years. A nation that will not defend its people or its borders will soon cease to be a nation."

    (Written by Edwin R. York, who lives about two miles from the Arizona border with Mexico, in a letter to Representative Jim Kolbe.)

    "[W]e begin to find a consistent pattern. The Clinton Administration used force to install a Marxist in Haiti. It built nuclear power facilities for Communist North Korea, gave diplomatic recognition to Communist Vietnam, handed Communist China a frightening array of our military technology, supported Marxist rebels in Africa, tried to lift the trade embargo against Communist Cuba -- and has snubbed our only staunch ally in the Middle East, Isreal, since it elected the conservative Netanyahu.

    "There could hardly be a clearer picture. The left-wingers who dominate the Clinton Administration are quietly using American power to push a leftist agenda all over the world. . . ."

    "The Declaration of Independence is the official and unequivocal affirmation by the American people of their belief and faith in God. It affirms God's existence as a 'self-evident' truth that requires no further discussion or debate. . . .

    "The Declaration contains five references to God -- God as supreme Lawmaker, God as Creator of all men, God as the Source of all rights, God as the world's supreme Judge, and God as our Protector on whom we can rely. . . .

    "The Declaration of Independence proclaims that life and liberty are the unalienable gifts of God -- natural rights -- which no person or government can rightfully take away. It affirms that the purpose of government is to secure our God-given unalienable individual rights, and that government derives its powers from the consent of the governed. Our Declaration reduced government from master to servant, for the first time in history. . . ."

    "By now, virtually every public school student in the country has heard about the supposed environmental catastrophe of deformed frogs. Everywhere you look, it is said, there are frogs being born with severe disabilities; too few or too many limbs, and misshapen eyes and toes. And the Cause? Pesticides, pollution, and ultraviolet radiation, all synonyms for greedy businessmen, which in turn indicts capitalism. Hence, the free market is destroying nature. . . . But it turns out that this morality play, seized on and relentlessly promoted by environmental activists, is a myth. A natural parasite, not pollution, is the source of the problem. . . . The deformed-frog hysteria illustrates, not the corruption of capitalism, but the absurd lengths that environmentalists will go to manufacture a crisis in hopes of more government control."

    "I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a partial-birth abortion on a woman who was six months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The doctor delivered the baby's body and arms, everything but his little head. The baby's body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. The doctor took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. Then the doctor opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to the clinic. But I am still haunted by the face of that little boy. It was the most perfect, angelic face I have ever seen."

    AIDS started out as a low-budget 1976 Defense Department project before the House Appropriation Committee justified by Department of the Army Doctor MacArthur. The request was to fund a project to develop a Satan-bug before the Soviets. Once approved, the program went "black" and no further overt information was available. The United Nations World Health Organization took AIDS to Sub-Sahara Africa in the form of Hepatitis B vaccinations. The WHO then showed up in San Francisco and New York City. USA Today featured a front page story last month on how Africa is being de-nuded of human beings by the AIDS virus which, according to the World Health Organization -- which should know, is now the leading cause of death in Africa. Bernard Schwartlander of UNAIDS says it best: "Scariest to me is that, given the large number of people who are infected, the HIV deaths we see now are only the tip of the iceberg. They are going to increase dramatically over the next few years." AIDS now claims 2.5-million lives per year, 2,000,000 in Africa -- and 25-million Africans have HIV, while 16,000 more are infected every day! To best illustrate how devastating the AIDS virus is in Africa consider this fact: Over the next decade, deaths from HIV in sub-Sahara Africa will surpass the deaths in all the major wars of the 20th Century! 9.2 million WWI, 20-million WWII, 1.5-million Korea, 2.1-million Vietnam, 500,000 Gulf War. A total of 32.9-million compared to 34-million AIDS victims -- just in the South of Africa!




    The following excerpt is from "When a Flag Isn't" by Bo Gritz, Center for Action, November 1997, page 4. Address: HC 11, Box 308, Kamiah, Idaho 83536. E-mail. Posted here: 6-14-99.

    . . .Title 4, United States Code, Section 1, describes the American Flag as red, white, and blue with a star to represent each state of the union on a field of blue with stripes of red and white horizontally placed in alternation. Presidential Executive Order No. 10834 dated August 21, 1959, signed by Dwight Eisenhower, gives the size specifications for the American Flag. . . .

    Title 4, U.S.C. Section 3 states that it is a mutilation to alter or attach anything to the American Flag in any manner -- including a yellow fringe! National (military) American Flags are described in Army Regulation 840-10 with different overall dimensions and a different field-size. Any military person knowledgeable of flag history and tradition will affirm that only regimental battle colors are trimmed in gold fringe -- it was never meant for civilian peace flags. The top of the flag pole also has significance. According to law, only the presiden'ts flag is surmounted by an eagle. A spearpoint indicates martial law, while a yellow braided cord designates admiralty jurisdiction.

    I don't personally believe that judges from Justice of the Peace to U.S. Supreme Court Justices realize they are in violation of flag protocol. I don't believe they intend their courts to be court-martials. I recommend that every American that reads this article should copy it and send it to every judge in their area. Once on notice, I recommend, if the military flags are not exchanged for proper "flags of peace," the judges should be asked to respond in writing why they continue to allow mutilation of the American Flag in their courtroom. If there is still no corrective action, we should mount letter campaigns of complaint to local print and broadcast media, and prosecutors. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW IF AMERICA IS TRULY UNDER MARTIAL LAW!




    The following information was found in an e-mail message forwarded to me. This piece, titled "What Are You Going To Do About This?" is written by Gaylon Ross. Website. I haven't personally verified what Gaylon says, but if true, it's pretty discouraging. Posted here: 6-9-99.

    If someday your children or grandchildren ask you how Liberty died in America and what happened that caused the demise of the Nation, read this and you will be able to answer them. If they ask you why the Citizens have been disarmed, you'll know. If you want to know why, go to your local library, no matter where you live in the United States. Tell the librarian to show you where the 'United States Code books' are shelved. There are 25 books in the set. They are reddish-brown in color. They are printed by the Government Printing Office in Washington, DC. These hard-covered books are printed every 8-10 years. They are updated with annual soft-back supplements each year until a new hard cover issue comes out. At the present time, the 1988 hardbacks are on library shelves.

    OPEN VOLUME 9. The page numbers are in the center near the middle binding. The section numbers are along the edges. TURN TO PAGE 651. Here you will find Public Law 87-297 which calls for the United States to eliminate its armed forces. This law was signed for the United States in 1961. John F. Kennedy signed it and every president since has worked to enact its provisions. The government knows you will not approve which is why they want to take away your firearms. (This is Title 22 USC section 2551)

    TURN TO PAGE 652. Here you will find the definition of what the government means by "disarmament." The disarmament calls for the elimination of our armed forces. It also calls for the elimination of weapons of all kinds. (This is Title 22 USC 2552 (a)).

    TURN TO PAGE 654. Here you will find it stated as item (a) "control, reduction and elimination of armed forces..." and as Item (d) "...Elimination of armed forces...." What you need to know is that your armed forces are being eliminated and relinquished from national control which, in turn, wipes out our sovereignty as a nation. In two stages, we will have no more army, no more navy, no more air force. In the third stage, we shall have a "zero" military. Before Stage I closes, all citizen-owned guns are to be banned. (This is Title 22 USC Section 2571 (a).

    Public Law 87-297 is further explained in the State Department Document called Publication 7277. Your librarian can also furnish you a copy. Also ask the librarian to get you a copy of "The Blue Print for the Peace Race." It is a 35-page booklet printed by the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency as Publication No. 4 - General Series 3 - Released May of 1962. Publication No. 4 is the unabridged version of State Department Document 7277.

    Both of these booklets explain how our military is to be reduced to 2.1 million men. China and the Soviets are to be reduced to that level also. At this point, we are at Stage I at which time we are to transfer (on a permanent basis) one-half of our armed forces to be merged with the Russian and Chinese armies. In Stage II, the remaining one-half of our armed forces is then turned over to this same Security Council of the United Nations. The person in charge of the merged armies must, by agreement, always be a Russian. The world's smaller nations turn 100% of their armies over to the same under-secretary of the Security Council in Stage II. President George Bush and Admiral Wm. J. Crowe [have referred] to this process as being "in transition."

    TURN TO PAGE 655. On this page in Volume 9 of the United States Code, read "Policy Formation." The directives there (written in 1963 to pacify objectors) are supposedly to restrain anyone from disarmament, reducing or limiting our armaments, or taking guns away from the people unless it is pursuant to the treaty-making power of the president, or if it is authorized by further legislation by the Congress. (This is title 22, Section 2573.)

    Every couple of years the House of Representatives votes to appropriate funds for this on-going program. Since P.L. 87-297 was first passed into law in 1961, there have been 18 updates to it - all bad - with no deletions of these issues I lay before you now. The Congress knows that the plan includes the policing of the United States by foreign troops. (The world army they are forming in Europe.) The Congress is allowing our military bases to be closed down, except for those that will be used by the world army. You will find that plan in Publication 7277 and in "The Blueprint for the Peace Race."

    If the president and Congress can promote a "Constitutional Convention" you will find yourself with two new constitutions (communist in structure) which in one states in Article VIII, Section 12: "No person shall bear arms or possess lethal weapons except the police and members of the armed forces...."

    The Congress has praised these documents and is on record in Senate hearings seeking ways to install these constitutions. Ask your librarian for "Revision of the United Nations Charter - Hearings Before a Subcommittee (Foreign Relations) Feb. 2-20, 1950 U.S.Government Printing Office." Nothing has changed since. They are still viable.

    The ultimate goal to be reached in Stage III of the disarmament process is to "proceed to a point where no state [nation] would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force...."

    Anyone who doubts the truthfulness of what has been presented here is free to go to the library and go through the steps which have been outlined above. While you are at it, look up Public Law 101-216.

    State Department Publication 7277 is available on the web. and in electronic form as file PUB_7277.ZIP on at least the following bulletin boards:

    Paul Revere - San Jose: (408) 947-7800 or (408) 279-0872
    The Rising Storm: (408) 739-8693

    If in future years your children or grandchildren ask why you allowed their freedom to slip through your fingers, no one who has read this material will be able to say; "if only I had known." Now that you have read this, you know. The question is; what are you going to do about it?
